Abstract

Results of numerical solution of Navier-Stokes equations in stream function-vortex variables for a nonstationary laminar flow around a circular cylinder with a rotational degree of freedom are presented. The cases of definite, free, and inertial rotation of the indicated cylinder were considered.
